From Decentralized Governance to Legal Frontiers
This forward-looking book examines the concept and legal status of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Based on blockchain technology, DAOs disrupt traditional thinking around corporate structure and organizational governance. This book explores the challenges posed by DAOs in both technological and legal perspectives and discuss how they are regulated across Europe and the US.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations in the Legal Landscape positions DAOs as the intersection between blockchain technology, legalities and company management. Chapters explore the law and regulation of DAOs across Europe and the US, revealing which regions allow them to operate with the fewest restrictions. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, leading experts analyze the role of the financial sector in the regulation of DAOs, considering how the digital and managerial structures of these organizations push entrepreneurial boundaries. The book engages with themes of autonomy and societal norms whilst providing a thought-provoking analysis of the role of artificial intelligence in innovating DAOs.

This insightful book is essential for legal professionals, researchers and policymakers engaging with DAO legislation and blockchain technology. Students and academics in law and technology, corporate law and organizational studies will also find this book to be a valuable resource.
